Saturday: Smokies 8, Biscuits 2

Nate Samson and Blake Lalli each hit two-run singles in a six-run sixth inning that pushed the Tennessee Smokies to an 8-2 win over the Biscuits on Saturday.

Samson and Lalli had Tennessee's only hits in the 11-batter inning, which included no earned runs. With two outs, Montgomery reliever Neil Schenk issued four straight walks before Samson's single chased him. A walk later, Lalli hit his single.

Tim Beckham hit his seventh home run in the third inning and singled. His error in the sixth led to the six unearned runs. Cole Figueroa tripled after Beckham's home run and scored on a Henry Wrigley single. Figueroa also singled and walked.
